Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
- to taste whipped cream (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, whole milk, and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, but don’t let it boil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Once the milk mixture is hot, slowly pour it into the egg mixture while whisking constantly. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and fold in the shredded coconut.
- Pour the custard into the pre-baked pie crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the custard is set and slightly golden on top.
- Let the pie cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Top with whipped cream and extra shredded coconut if desired.
